Poem for the week

Why God Made Friends
    

God made the world with a heart full of love,
Then He looked down from Heaven above,

And saw that we all need a helping hand,
Someone to share with, who'll understand.

He made special people to see us through
The glad times and the sad times, too;

A person on whom we can always depend,
Someone we can call a friend.

God made friends so we'll carry a part
Of His perfect love in all our hearts.

Health tips for the week:

Lighten the Load

Often called "Spring Cleaning" this is the time to get rid of old stuff that's just no longer useful.

Stop one old habit

Spring cleaning is basically about changing the world around us. Spring is also a good time to change something within ourselves. Just choose one habit that's not very good and get rid of it. It could be the typical "smoking" or "no junk food" or it could be something behavioral like "stop being sarcastic" or "listen before I speak."

Seek out one new adventure

Choose one thing that you've never done, but always wanted to do.

Some people see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not. 

- George Bernard Shaw 

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, magic and power in it. Begin it now.

The Gardening Man by Pam Ayres

Oh let us salute him, the gardening man,

Alone with his thoughts and his watering can,

A song in his heart and a pain in his back,

And all his tomatoes are starting to crack.

The fly’s on the carrot, the spot’s on the rose,

Every joy of the garden he knows,

The feel of the compost, the clink of the pot,

The neck of his onions all starting to rot.

Oh let us admire him, the gardening fellow,

There in his orchard so misty and mellow,

All of its riches he reaches to grab,

And all of his apples are covered in scab.

The thrip’s in the privet, the moth’s in the peas,

There’s fire in his tulips and fire in his knees,

But he tackles them all with a toss of his head,

And a swig of the tackle he keeps in the shed.

The gardener’s visage, untroubled and clear,

The wind’s in his face and the frost’s in his ear,

And thought disappointment his hopes may have slain,

Like dust on the Perlite, he rises again.

Disasters too dreadful for dwelling upon,

The night that the heater was never switched on,

When he slept in his bed and he never arose,

While all of his blue cinerarias froze.

But there’s always a lawnmower blade to adjust,

Always a hollyhock covered in rust,

The sun’s in the heavens, the dew’s on the fern,

And the frost on the patio fractured his urn.

A blow for the gardening man let us strike!

The soil’s in his blood, bone, and fish if you like,

May his joy never cease as he plants up his trough,

Nor the seedlings of happiness ever….. damp off.

Health tips for the week:

Eat for energy

Give sugar, saturated fats and snack bars a miss as these foods are energy sappers.

Cut back on the coffee and try tea instead, it's rich in anti-oxidants and boosts your metabolism.

Drink for Health

Think before you drink.... One glass of wine will help you relax ... too much wine will deplete your key energy - releasing B vitimans as well as zinc and magnesium.

Anger is weakness, tolerance is bravery. Humility makes you strong.

A good intention clothes itself with power.

- Menander, 342-292 B.C.

Someone Stole the Master Plan

Someone robbed the rulebook

and then watched the game devolve

And life and all it means

became a mystery most can't solve

Someone grabbed the game plan

so now all our bets are off

And what was once a sure thing

is now cause to scorn and scoff

Someone ripped the roadmap

and we all now wander lost

Going round in circles

over paths already crossed

Someone burned the blueprint

and then put theirs in it's stead

And what we build serves none

but those who've placed themselves ahead

Someone stole the master plan

now everyone's in charge

The blind lead blind to prisons

run by criminals at large

But truth is at your fingertips

it's floating in the air

And all you need is eyes to see

and ears to hear what's there

For truth is yours to own and prove

to use to find your way

To set a course of choice and change

despite what others say

So don't be led by pundits

who you think know more than you

For no one has to validate

the things you know are true

(for chances are, my friend,

you'll find that they are quite lost too!)

Walt's Life Rhyme #404, Someone Stole the Master Plan (c)Walt F.J. Goodridge

by Pam Ayres

Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth,

And spotted the perils beneath

All the toffees I chewed,

And the sweet sticky food.

Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.

I wish I'd been that much more willin'

When I had more tooth there than fillin'

To give up gobstoppers,

From respect to me choppers,

And to buy something else with me shillin'.

When I think of the lollies I licked

And the liquorice allsorts I picked,

Sherbet dabs, big and little,

All that hard peanut brittle,

My conscience gets horribly pricked.

My mother, she told me no end,

'If you got a tooth, you got a friend.'

I was young then, and careless,

My toothbrush was hairless,

I never had much time to spend.

Oh I showed them the toothpaste all right,

I flashed it about late at night,

But up-and-down brushin'

And pokin' and fussin'

Didn't seem worth the time - I could bite!

If I'd known I was paving the way

To cavities, caps and decay,

The murder of fillin's,

Injections and drillin's,

I'd have thrown all me sherbet away.

Health tips for the week:

Move more

Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators.

Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster.

Think 'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym, it can be dancing around the house!

Move more... Cha, Cha, Cha….

Soup is also great for the internal organs in the cooler winter months.

Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.

- Oprah Winfrey

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use. -Kierkegaard

Pan comes dancing

Once upon a while when the clouds blow long

Pan comes dancing with his secret song.

Pan comes dancing, chancing, glancing

Turning to your yearning

With a step that you aspire to,

Leaping to your weeping

With a bright fuelled fire.

Once upon awhile when the trees leap budding

Pan pipes the pitch of the melody of Spring,

Pan comes playing, praying, swaying,

Turning to your yearning

With a step that you aspire to.

Leaping to your weeping

With a bright fuelled fire.

Pan comes singing such a song of light,

Pan comes singing, swinging, ringing

Turning to your yearning

With a step that you aspire to.

Leaping to your weeping

With a bright fueled fire.

Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines,
but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes. - Buddha

It doesn't matter if there is one God or many Gods,

I want to know if you belong or feel abandoned,

if you can know dispair or see it in others,

if you can live in the world with it's harsh need to change you,

if you can look back with firm eyes saying 'this is where I stand.'

I want to know if you know how to melt into the fierce heat of living, falling to the centre of your longing.

I want to know if you can live day to day with the consequences of love and the bitter unwanted passion of your sure defeat.

I have heard in that fierce embrace, even the Gods speak of God.

-David Whyte

Chop your own wood and it will warm you twice.
-Swedish proverb

Little things can make a big difference.

There are some big things in the eyes of the world
that signify little in the eyes of Spirit.
Other things that seem small
in the eyes of the world
are big in the eyes of Spirit.
Life is not made of only of grand gestures,
heroic feats, and historic deeds;
life is made of little things,
so often the smallest actions
make the biggest difference.
There’s no need to wait for a big break or breakthrough.
Just do the little things.
To make huge strides, take small steps. In sports, relationships, art, or business, success may be waiting for
one more day, one last try.
A single word can make or break us. One last straw broke the camel’s back;

a little smile or simple touch can heal our world.

Dan Millman

Healthy Happiness

Don't worry, be happy...sound familiar? Decide now, be happy, and watch magic begin to enter your life.

The only way to find the limits of the possible is by going beyond them to the impossible.

Health tips for the week

To stay young and beautiful, indulge in yummy avocados they contain vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron.

They digest easily when mixed with cooked or raw vegetables and also digest well with starches .

Try blending avocado with fruits like mango, banana, and others, for a great all natural baby food.

Rotten Avocado- don't throw it out! Mash it up and put it in your dry hair. Cover with a plastic bag and wrap your head with a towel for a deep conditioning treatment. Leave on for 30 minutes, then shampoo.

Forget and forgive. This is not difficult when properly understood. It means forget inconvenient duties, then forgive yourself for forgetting. By rigid practice and stern determination, it comes easy.

Health tips for the week:

Healthy Children & Adults

1. Replace all sugar cereals with whole grain cereals.

2. Get rid of all "white flour" products in your house. White flour is sugar's close cousin. It is completely deficient of nutrients. It will cause a sharp rise in blood sugar and then a drop which brings on fatigue. Replace white flour breads.

3. Stop buying sodas, pop and other beverages that are a waste of money. Soda does not hydrate the body and in fact, it dehydrates the body. The only drink that will hydrate the body is water.

4. Get rid of all snack foods that contain hydrogenated oils. That means that you won't be buying ANY boxed foods anymore because it is difficult to find boxed foods without some kind of hydrogenated oils.

Use date sugar, fruit juice or sucanat in baking instead of"white death" (sugar).

Focus on remedies, not faults.

- Jack Nicklaus American Golfer

Remembered Music

by RUMI

'Tis said, the pipe and lute that charm our ears

Derive their melody from rolling spheres;

But faith, o'erpassing speculation's bound,

Can see what sweetens every jangled sound.

We, who are parts of Adam, heard with him

The song of angels and of seraphim.

Our memory, though dull and sad, retains

Some echo still of those unearthly strains.

Oh, music is the meat of all who love,

Music uplifts the soul to realms above.

The ashes glow, the latent fires increase:

We listen and are fed with joy and peace.

Health tips for the week:

New Response

If you can see and accept that you create your own stress according to your response, you will then see that there is something you need to unlearn as well as learn. The old response needs to be undone or unlearned, and a new response needs to be learned.

Have you drunk 8 glasses of water today?

Nervous tissue carries electrical signals which enables the body to work as a single unit.

Love - by Roy Croft

I love you,

Not only for what you are,

But for what I am When I am with you.

I love you, Not only for what

You have made of yourself,

But for what You are making of me.

I love you For the part of me

That you bring out; I love you

For putting your hand

Into my heaped-up heart

And passing over

All the foolish, weak things

That you can't help

Dimly seeing there,

And for drawing out Into the light

All the beautiful belongings

That no one else had looked

Quite far enough to find.

I love you because you

Are helping me to make

Of the lumber of my life

Not a tavernBut a temple;

Out of the works

Of my every day

Not a reproach

But a song.

I love you Because you have done

More than any creed

Could have done

To make me good,

And more than any fate

Could have done

To make me happy.

You have done it

Without a touch,

Without a word,

Without a sign.

You have done it

By being yourself.

Perhaps that is what

Being a friend means,

After all.

Softly the Song

(Dedicated to the 2000 or so monks of Mount Athos, who would rather hear a man sing for love of God, than listen because of his skill.)

Softly the song of love is sung

That sudden lights the day of man.

Listen, listen,

Catch it who catch it can, the song

That steals the silence.

Lowly the lay of love is learned

That soothes the pain of doubting man.

Listen, Listen,

Catch it who catch it can, the lay

That leads the sundered soul to pray.

Slowly the day delights the apse

As dawn decends the frescoed wall,

Listen, Listen,

Catch it who catch it can, the ray

That turns the inner night to so bright day.

- Robin Amis 1988

Express appreciation to everyone who helps you.

Use sweet almond oil as a makeup remover. It wipes it straight off.

White sugar dosen't contain a single nutrient required for your body.

Poem lyrics of Seven Ages Of Man

by William Shakespeare.

All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players,

They have their exits and entrances,

And one man in his time plays many parts,

His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.

Then, the whiling schoolboy with his satchel

And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,

Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad

Madew to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,

Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,

Jealous in honour, sudden, and quick in quarrel,

Seeking the bubble reputation

Even in the cannon's mouth. And then, the justice

In fair round belly, with good capon lin'd,

With eyes severe, and beard of formal cut,

Full of wise saws, and modern instances,

And so he plays his part.

Why Skip the Coffee?

*Coffee raises blood sugar levels

*Raises fatty acid levels in the blood

*Raises homocysteine levels

*Causes vascular resistance (circulation is reduced) And caffeine raises stress hormone levels which is a primary risk factor for diabetes... to name a few things.

I guess it is easy for me because I do not drink Coffee only green tea for me.

On Principle or Posture

On principle or posture, friend
is how you will decide
Is what you do for you
or to sustain your sense of pride?

Oh, sure, we all have bills to pay
and some have mouths to feed
But some dreams pay out dividends
whose risks they far exceed

The very things you fear you'll lose
are what keep you enslaved
but freedom comes from overcoming
challenges you've braved

Convenience or conscience? Hmmm
Which one will set your course?
When sails are filled with others' wind
you'll drown deep in remorse

There's one of two paths that you'll take
and one leads to your good
You'll do what honors passion
or what others think you should

To risk all you think matters
shapes your power to transcend
And know what's done on principle
will work out in the end!

The Fountain Of Youth

aka The Fountain Is a Flow

It's not a place you visit, friend
And no it's not a stream
It's not a brook that's tucked away
that bubbles site unseen
There's no magic elixir
that will wash away the years
No age-free antidote
to nix each line as it appears
The fountain is the flow my friend
that keeps every thing young
You'll find it everywhere you look
for youth from flow is sprung
You'll see it in the thoughts you think
For minds their age will show
You're aged by feelings kept inside
Renewed by those that flow
You'll see it in your pockets
waning wealth can be restored
Enriched through flow by what you share
not what you hold and hoard
You'll see it in your body
for through foods is time appeased
The flow keeps bodies ageless
and immune to all disease
The fountain flows eternal
as by legend we've been told
Let flow all thoughts and things
that's how you'll keep from getting old

For any where that things come in

so too must out they go

And youth belongs to those who see

the fountain as a flow

by Walt Goodrige - Life Rhyme #387

Health tips for the week:

Oxygen is the big O. Pump it around and we feel clear and bright again. Muscles squeeze the circulation and massage the joints, demanding heart and lungs to speed up.

Oxygen circulation activates hormone centres and nerve transmitter production.

It is our nature to want to move, when we don't our muscles cry out for use. Live in your body not your head.

Be the lighthearted soul you are, who laughs in the face of fear, and only cries tears of joy.
